Kenya to plant 15 billion trees by 2032
As a first step,they made a National Public Holiday "Tree Planting day"everyone is to plant trees.
“The government has declared a special holiday on Monday November 13 2023, during which the public across the country shall be expected to plant trees as a patriotic contribution to the national efforts to save our country from the devastating effects of climate change,”
Trees hold carbon,provide cool microclimate, provide home for wildlife,prevent erosion,You name it.
Wondering where are our 2 billion trees promised?We are much richer,much more advanced in many ways-and we "may"plant 10 % if the 2 billion by 2030?!
We could even afford to make a Public Holiday for this..we do so for many other things anyway.
Opinions?
